THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE Chapter Sixteen:The Serpent's Visit
Scarlett murmured effortlessly, her voice like silk but with a sting beneath. Still, I guess it's destiny. Mimi's jaw tightened. Standing in front of Scarlett, Mimi refused to exhibit any weakness and straightened up. What do you wish? Scarlett's smile turned to one that didn't show in her eyes. What I want is unimportant, darling. The issue here is what you desire. She lowered her voice and leaned in just a little. I'm sorry, but you seem to be in over your head. Mimi's instincts were screaming at her to run, and she felt her heart skip a beat. She remained her ground, nevertheless, and would not give in. "I'm not afraid of you," she murmured, pushing the words out despite the discomfort that ran down her back. "Really?" Scarlett pondered, her eyes sparkling with mirth. You ought to be. Before Mimi could answer, Scarlett's grin grew and she turned, striding back towards the car with an air of finality. Mimi, you will soon see. You are not in charge here. Not yet. She then got b

She grabbed her phone and typed fast, the words flowing more easily now. I don't know who I am any more. Mimi's daydream was pierced by the doorbell, surprising her. Trembling, she put the phone down and got up to answer it. Opening the door, she found Lyra there, her face fixed in a worried expression. Lyra walked over the threshold without saying anything; Mimi didn't even have to invite her inside. Worried, Lyra said, "I've been thinking about you." You are carrying something really weighty. Mimi agreed but remained mum. She took Lyra into the living room, where the table still held scattered pictures. Lyra saw them right away; her eyes darkened as she absorbed them. "Is this about James?" she enquired quietly. Staring at the pictures that had wrecked her world, Mimi's tongue was parched and she nodded once again. Lyra sat down next to her, her expression softening. "I'm sorry, Mimi," she whispered softly. You have to look at this for what it is, though. Scarlett's playing mind

"Damon Cole," Jaxon muttered, his voice sombre as though he were tasting poison on his tongue. He's the cause of my father's name buried in falsehoods. Agitated, he paced in front of her, hands running over his hair. Damon Cole was the one who framed my father for corporate fraud. Mimi's thoughts rushed to understand it. Damon Cole The name rang out like a curse, the same guy who had tormented Jaxon for years. But there was extra. Not until today has Jaxon ever truly discussed his past. Once the floodgates opened, there was no turning back. "Damon disappeared after CrossCorp went public," Jaxon said, his eyes blazing with rage and bewilderment. But now I understand he was never truly gone. Hiding in the shadows, tugging threads, waiting for the proper time. Standing stationary in the centre of the room, his back to her, he halted. That time is now. Mimi rested her hands on her knees and leaned forward. But why at this time? What does he desire? Jaxon didn't spin around right away.

"We have to strike back," Jaxon remarked quietly but firmly breaking the stillness between them. Mimi's throat constricted. Arms crossed in front of her, she looked back and forth between him and the screen's figures. "Hit back? What even is that, Jaxon? You want me to make this chaos public? Dark with determination, he turned in his seat to face her. "Not at all." Not only go public. We're going to reclaim everything. Mimi, your efforts developed this firm. Your vision, your effort. They cannot simply wipe you off. Mimi gulped. His comments ignited a dangerous spark in her that she didn't want to admit. He was correct. All she had laboured for, all she had battled for, had been stolen from her. The business, the existence she had created... all of it, gone. But it sounded so risky to take it back, to fight back. It seemed... impossible. Rising in her voice, she remarked, "I can't just walk back into CrossCorp and take control." You have no idea how far this goes. I don't even kn

"This is for Mrs. Cross," the courier continued, his voice cold and his eyes distant. "Thank you," Mimi said, removing the envelope from him. She closed the door, her fingers shaking as she flipped the manila envelope over in her palms. It didn't seem appropriate. It was unsettling in its weight. She gingerly sliced the package open and went down onto the couch. Her eyes skimmed the contents fast as she drew out the papers. Then her heart stopped beating. The first line struck her like a gut strike. James Cross wants Simeon in complete custody. The words blurred as she attempted to comprehend them, her thoughts racing. Total custody? It could not be real. The legalese, the seal, the formal phrasing all shouted authenticity, though. The words on the page danced in her head. Complete custody. She could nearly hear James's arrogant voice reverberating in her mind. Anger shot up in her chest. She had to reach Jaxon. Her breath shallow, Mimi picked up her phone and called him. The

The statement on the screen was straightforward, almost overly basic. A terrifying warning on a number she didn't recognize:"Don’t go to CrossCorp today."Her heart skipped a beat, and she froze, staring at the mysterious lettering with narrowed eyes. The message felt too weird to reply to, yet her hand lingered over the reply. After all, even in the digital realm, living in Las Vegas means putting up with a lot of noise and mayhem, so it might be spam or a practical joke.Mimi shook her head, pushed the phone away, and concentrated on the plans she and Simeon had made. It was meant to be different today. Despite everything that had slipped through their fingers in recent months, today was meant to remind James of what really mattered—the family they had created together. It would be just the two of them, a low-key meal, and perhaps a bit too much champagne. An ideal approach to honor the man who had once given her a sense of importance.She sighed and flung the phone onto the bed, i

Simeon cheered from the backseat, his little hands pressed against the window, his eyes gleaming, still clutching his crumpled birthday card. "Look, Mom! It resembles a castle. The fog of Mimi's thoughts was broken by his words.Mimi looked in the rearview mirror at him. A tiny smile came to her lips, but it was forced, a slender thread of tension in the air. Her chest felt heavy as they drew nearer. The building's weight wasn't the only factor. It was the weight of the promises broken between the walls of the house she had once called home, the memories it held.She tightened her grasp on the steering wheel, forcing herself to focus. This day was meant to be fantastic. a birthday. An opportunity to remind James of their family. Nevertheless, the excitement that accompanied her visits to CrossCorp seemed like a thing of the past.Simeon's naive enthusiasm just made her discomfort worse. Was this the right decision? What was it she had hoped for? James would alter all of a sudden? That

The applause started as soon as she entered the lobby; it was gradual at first, but it seemed to be planned. It was a deafening sound. The intense light from the rapidly flashing cameras was blinding, reflecting off the glass walls and gleaming floors.the woman's chest constricted. In a manner she was unable to describe, she felt vulnerable and exposed, as if every eye in the room was on her, observing, assessing. They weren't waiting for her, though. Simeon's tiny voice was hardly audible as he pulled at her sleeve.“What’s going on, Mom?”Her fingers trembled a little as she tightened her grip on his. She glanced around, but for a brief time, the crowd appeared to thin out, and there he was—James, standing in the middle of the room, his arms out wide as though to greet her, a smile on his face.However, it wasn't James who left her speechless. It was the woman next to him, her palm lightly resting on his breast, her smile premeditated and sly.Mimi's throat tightened each breath. T

THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE Chapter Fifteen:The Truth Behind The Lies
Jaxon gasped as he read about a "falsified scandal"—a claim of corporate fraud that had destroyed his father's image and landed him in jail. It had all been a setup; now Jaxon was looking at the evidence. It was all orchestrated by Damon Cole. He had rigged the fraud, changed the statistics, and made sure Jaxon's family would collapse. Jaxon, his fingers white from clutching the desk, murmured, "This goes deeper than I thought." James Cross, Scarlett Voss, and now Damon Cole all belonged to the same perverse game played by the empire. Jaxon had been only an unwilling pawn; they had been playing it for years. Jaxon sat back in his chair, his fingers still lingering over the keyboard, his thoughts racing with the fresh knowledge. Though there was more, the papers he had just found were incriminating. Scanning over a number of financial statements, he brought up a line of figures that were blurring. Then, one specific file drew his attention: a transfer of millions of dollars from an of

James, let us see what bones you are hiding, he said quietly and tensely. James Cross's name echoed in his head, a never-ending reminder of the guy who had wounded Mimi in ways Jaxon still could not grasp. He was no longer here to play games. He was here to reveal every inch of CrossCorp's evil side and, more crucially, to locate the proof that would bring James down. Revealing the company's encrypted financial details, the first screen flickered. Jaxon skimmed over the information, his mind racing. CrossCorp's spending was too much; the revenue of the firm was rising fast. But the way the money moved seemed wrong—too many payments to offshore accounts, too many hidden transactions. Jaxon clenched his jaw. This was the end. Under the surface lay a scheme. He was going deeper. The more he found, the more obvious it became that James Cross was playing a far bigger game including deception, power, and control besides only greed. A ping rang out across the room. The hackers had discove

Jaxon's presence scarcely registered in her mind until his voice came through, low and steady. Allow me to assist you in resisting. Though she didn't look at him, she felt the depth of his words sink deep. The warmth did nothing to relieve the tightness squeezing in her chest as her fingers gripped the handle of her mug. "I don't need revenge," she eventually answered, her voice softer than she meant. She was weary—weary of fleeing, weary of pretending she wasn't still broken by all that had transpired. But payback? That was a line she wasn't sure she should cross. Jaxon’s gaze stayed fixed, searching hers with that unrelenting, intense stare he always had. "Revenge is not the goal," he stated, his voice a little quieter but still forceful. It's about seizing power. Mimi, you don't have to keep avoiding him; he isn't going away. You don't have to keep doing this alone. The words struck more forcefully than she had expected. Having created a wall around herself for so long, she had

"You are still strong," he observed, his voice calm as if he were pointing out an evident reality. It was not a complement. It was not a declaration of respect. It was just a reality he couldn't overlook. Mimi looked at him, then down to her tablet. Though the weight of his words hung in the air, her fingers hovered over the keys and she paused. She had always been robust. But that power had come at a price. She typed: You don't know me anymore, with a fast, sharp movement. Jaxon’s eyes narrowed a little as she spoke. Though they still hurt, he was not shocked by what she said. He had left her, deserted her, and she had reconstructed herself into someone he wasn't certain he could access any more. Buried under layers of survival, layers of the life she had been compelled to build without him, the woman he once loved lay. Mimi, I know you better than anyone else. I have always known you. For the first time, Jaxon noticed a fissure in her defences as her fingers shook for a second.
